“Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Actual CPI vs. Official CPI
As I was surfin’ the ‘net last week I ran into a rather interesting article that claimed that Americans indeed are better off economically under the Bush regime. The article is compelling, except for (at least) two glaring flaws: it uses the discredited official CPI index to measure inflation levels and it does not account for the massive new debt loads, due in large part to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, that current and future generations of Americans will have to pay back. Below is the full-text of the article:

Are You Ready For Nuclear War?

The Republican candidate for president is a warmonger. There are no checks remaining in the Republican Party on the neocons’ proclivity for war. What Republican constituencies oppose war? Can anyone name one?

Pervez Musharraf, the puppet installed by the US to rule Pakistan in the interest of US hegemony, resigned August 18 to avoid impeachment. Karl Rove and the Diebold electronic voting machines were unable to control the result of the last election in Pakistan, the result …

Watch this powerful video about the demoralization of the troops overseas made by Truthout. These troops know what they are talking about as they applaud Cindy Sheehan for defending the 1st Amendment by using the 1st Amendment. Not one of them is demoralized by anti-war protesters. Instead, they are demoralized by the hardships of active duty. If you’ve never asked a soldier how they feel about the war, then you need to listen to this short clip.

Indeed, for what noble cause?

Why is there a media blackout of Dennis Kucinich’s efforts to bring impeachment charges against Bush? I used to think the so called ‘liberal media’ wanted us out of Iraq, but in the last few weeks it is all too obvious that they want us to forget about how the White House lied to the American people and Congress. If the possibility of impeachment became a reality then the whole political balance would be called into question, jeopardizing the platforms of Obama and McCain. More importantly, however, it would also open up the possibility of those surrounding Bush to be …

I remember a couple of years back telling my friends who were on their way to see United 93 that it was pure propaganda and not believe a word of it. They replied in disbelief and questioned my assertion, but I quickly replied that the movie was released just five years after the events of 9/11 and that we were still in the midst of a war started on the premise that terrorists from Saudi Arabia attacked us. Then we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Well United 93 is propaganda simply because it supports the official story. True or not, it’s …

What you hear sung at the ball game is not the entire verse! In fact it has been deliberately censored to not include the most important verses in the final stanza. Your government certainly doesn’t want you to feel this way about our current illegal wars: “…conquer we must, when our cause it is just,” otherwise they would feel more opposition to their policy. Our population has been taught that flag worshiping and singing along to Bruce Springsteen is the way to be patriotic. It is not. Learning about why we fight, what the flag used to stand for and …

Watch this clip to see how ordinary Americans are being deemed terrorists by the NYPD.
